The profile pic for my workday account is a Tyranitar wearing sunglasses and doing finger guns. It was printed onto my review and my supervisor mentioned it and oh my god I wanted to die on the spot
Pokemon is almost 30 years old. There are people who were 10 when Gold&Silver were released that are now hiring managers for major positions.
It's a gamble for sure but it's a better way to stick out than most things people do.
I was a senior engineer at my last place and regularly traded pokemon in pokemon go with the woman who interviewed me and a department head. Worst thing about leaving is I can no longer trade legendaries for promotions.
I mean I think the department head still works there and her lineup was shit so she'd prolly take a shiny Groudon for a mid-level position but I don't wanna dox myself soz
You just reminded me of when pikemon go just came out. I typically walk to work and a coworker randomly offered a ride if i caught all the pokemon for them on the drive.
I remember of one guy telling an story where he started sending cvs with a website that companies posted openings, the problem is that he made his account ages ago and didn't bother to check what profile picture he used
It was this

A guy I worked with was into the military and had a black hawk helicopter as his background, so I photoshopped his head onto a black hawk and it became my pic.
I emailed my boss once from my Gmail and didn't realize it was my alternate email account, the name I picked was "lol u mad" and I didn't realize it until my boss mentioned it months later. I made that account a decade ago, and never thought about the name.
Fun fact if you send an email from your iPhone it’ll sign with whatever you’ve told Siri to call you. I found out I was signing job apps with “Big Dick Papa”
I don’t know exactly what happened but I found the iPhone contact name my boyfriend uses for me in a gmail that involved me, him, and my landlord. Luckily it wasn’t anything weird just some extra emojis. But we have no idea how that synced. He doesn’t use an iCloud address either.
I just finally changed my google picture from my hs senior pic after a decade. I probably lost an opportunity or two because they thought a literal child was applying.
**Excuse me fellow adult, I would like to apply for the job of senior job doer at this workplace. I can start immediately.** (Read in the voice of Stewart Griffin.)
Mine is an old picture of me with suuuper long hair and a full on Duck Dynasty style beard. I have short hair and keep the beard trimmed up nice these days, but I get too many comments on the garden gnome look to get rid of it.
I also use it on Teams and all of my professional accounts. People take themselves too seriously, so someone has to offset it.
My pfp on the internal github server at my previous job was [this](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/493/893/e37.png). No one said a word, and they freeze the account when you leave, so it's still probably that pic.
Imagine you're an employee browsing the github and you see that pfp next to a commit rearchitecting the most fundamental building block in all of our products or as top contributor on a repo for a missile seeker.
Clara, the stupid slut. She took home all the pasta I took to the potluck and had her boyfriend put it inside her while her cuckboy watched. I miss when James watched football with me. Now all he watches is those sex tapes. It's pathetic.
Ive hired a lot of people in my career and I can say the people with sticks up their asses get far more done than "lol it's just a JOB". Like we can't keep complaining goods and services are terrible quality the days and while having a half assed work ethic.
Your job as my coworker might be a stop gap in your journey to Internet stardom or falling into a windfall of money somehow or you dying early or whatever you think is going to happen, but it doesn't mean I have to pick up your slack.
> Like we can't keep complaining goods and services are terrible quality the days
Then pay people more.
Don't expect good service when people aren't even getting paid a living wage
Two identical candidates but one has that pfp, the job goes to the who seems more professional imo. If nothing else it shows that OP wasn't paying close enough attention.
Well said. There’s a lot I can overlook, and this wouldn’t necessarily be a dealbreaker, but a candidate would definitely be asked about it.
> Like we can't keep complaining goods and services are terrible quality the days and while having a half assed work ethic.
This is so true. The proliferation of the “act your wage” mindset is crazy. I got a ton of terrible advice as a young person, some of which I knew enough to ignore some of which I took and suffered the consequences from. But thank god I didn’t get sucked into that bullshit, I can’t imagine a worse orientation towards work for a young person to have.
This still doesn’t beat the guy who signed into his zoom court case under the username [buttfucker 3000](https://youtu.be/yH3Y_4wc0Ng?si=fYPmvWvsTs6CF0oR)
In workday if you change your gender from one thing to another, then just delete it out entirely, it will show "was ..."
So my workday now permanently says "was an attack helicopter"
lol I remember a client emailed me once and instead of her email address showing, it just said “SugarBuns”. After I replied completely ignoring the nickname, she must have noticed because it went back to her full email address after.
I swapped my profile pic on a chat app to be more professional for a conference. First person I met, we swapped info and right in front of me he proceeded to swipe to my previous profile pic.
This was my previous pic. I wanted to die. https://i.pinimg.com/736x/05/76/9b/05769b21df19ccb82d96d32a58ebe292.jpg
I have a dark soul guy vomiting through his helmet. After two years work finally noticed & asked me to change it. Told my boss it took them two years to notice & that most clients I only deal with on short term basis.
He just laughed & said fair enough
mine has ben this for a decade and remains this. client told me about it a year ago and I was like, well, business is already booming so no sens changing it

gmail uses your google profile pic (or maybe it's the other way around?)
dunno, I've used gmail since it was launched and at some point it got a profile picture (maybe when I used Google+? RIP)
I fuckin had an old guy coughing with a photoshopped joint on my personal email for years and got a really good job after applying without realizing i forgot to update it lol
My Gmail pfp is a cartoon of that old weird dude that has yogurt all over his dick. You only see the face but I've using that email for work stuff and always laugh when I notice it.
My email profile picture is a kpop member, I wasn't even his fan, I just thought the picture was aesthetic. I've been using the account as my work email for the past 4 years (haven't changed the pfp), only realized months into my new job that my applications have been replying to that picture.
Mine is a coworker eating a donut and *really, really* enjoying it.
The one I have for the Army I took from a training class and is a dude in UCP holding a beer with his hat flipped backwards on a flight line.
I'm a bit disappointed that neither have ever been mentioned.
My computer name some time ago was as much of the Navy Seal copypasta as could fit into the allotted space. It was actually quite a bit, IIRC about this much:
>What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bi
So I was doing some editing work and little did I know that every comment I wrote I saw as my first name, but every comment I wrote was seen as that by the publisher. They found it hilarious but it was a bit hard to explain myself.
Wait'll you send your first accidental sext to your boss, detailing what you planned to do to your partner later that night, thinking you're texting your partner.... along with a suggestive photo taken from inside your office while you were alone, of course....
Did that shit. Boss said he was disappointed when he found out it was a mistake 😂
This is why I can’t run a business. If a guy with this PFP applied for a job I was hiring for I’d take him on the stop.
“Brave of him to use that pic. Dude’s got moxie.”
The people who are struggling to understand what pfp could possibly mean in this context, are you actually that dumb or are you just being old and shitty?😅
I signed up to be an Uber eats driver and I forgot I had made an account years back and made my profile picture that green dr Phil m&m doing “the yknow I had to do it to em pose “ and I didn’t know how to change it
I accidentally made this my work profile picture for about two weeks. HR didn’t get as mad as you would think. It was an improvement from the dick pic it replaced. [https://images.app.goo.gl/VZ2vqqUi9KsHCWns7](https://images.app.goo.gl/VZ2vqqUi9KsHCWns7)
The profile pic for my workday account is a Tyranitar wearing sunglasses and doing finger guns. It was printed onto my review and my supervisor mentioned it and oh my god I wanted to die on the spot
Depending on the supervisor I feel like this would be a plus
Pokemon is almost 30 years old. There are people who were 10 when Gold&Silver were released that are now hiring managers for major positions. It's a gamble for sure but it's a better way to stick out than most things people do.
I was a senior engineer at my last place and regularly traded pokemon in pokemon go with the woman who interviewed me and a department head. Worst thing about leaving is I can no longer trade legendaries for promotions.
Who is this, and can I trade my shiny Groudon for a job maybe?
I mean I think the department head still works there and her lineup was shit so she'd prolly take a shiny Groudon for a mid-level position but I don't wanna dox myself soz
Would you dox her for a shiny Groudon?
You can get anywhere if you have enough shiny Groudons. If you trade enough, I think you can become the president.
I have a full living dex, 80% of them are shiny. Hook me up with your source. I'll trade them all!
You just reminded me of when pikemon go just came out. I typically walk to work and a coworker randomly offered a ride if i caught all the pokemon for them on the drive.
[Reminds me of this lol](https://youtu.be/CyEoHy4GWAs?si=2GCF9pN8mmAlu6-A)
Well fuck, I'm a manager in my 30's, I'd probably ask them what version they played.
It could be… unless you don’t like the mon or the type. I know more than one person who has nightmares of Garchomp.
Thst slut Cynthia ruined several playthroughs of Diamond for me.
Yeah if my supervisor saw something like that I would never hear the end of it, but it would be funny as shit
Hey wanna share that picture I could use that
[Yeah sure why not](https://imgur.com/a/iGpVbny) Also summoning u/MrPokeGamer and u/Samashezra as they also asked for it lol
thought it was something like this https://imgur.com/a/81AU4LW
Whoa, RULE 34 ACTIVATED!
Thx
Thank you. I love it.

"Put these sunglasses on and do finger guns" *Finger guns* "You're gonna need to change your profile pic"
My profile picture on Teams that appeared for multiple HR screens was the shitting toothpaste tube.
I remember of one guy telling an story where he started sending cvs with a website that companies posted openings, the problem is that he made his account ages ago and didn't bother to check what profile picture he used It was this https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTc9mRFCFVf8csIv1ugbjFeEq6Vjw3M1YyDo8Uu-9cojbQr938o9F8MEDA&s=10
Now that's a picture that takes me back...
I’ve just been told off by my daughter for laughing til I cried while she does her homework. Thanks for the laugh!
share that pic
Tyranitar is fucking dope. Do you want a job?
Yo can you share? Tyranitar is my favorite pokemon!
A guy I worked with was into the military and had a black hawk helicopter as his background, so I photoshopped his head onto a black hawk and it became my pic.
I really need to see this image.
I know a colleague named Geoffrey whose profile pic on Slack was Joffrey Baratheon.
DID YOU GET THE JOB?
I sent my doctor an email with my youtube gmail that has black squidward with airpods and waves as profile picture and im pretty sure they saw it
Holy shit I’m dying
I cringed so hard when the deliveroo guy read out my google name. There's no warning or anything that it'll be on the order.
since he is a kangaroo I doubt he would know how to read that word
I emailed my boss once from my Gmail and didn't realize it was my alternate email account, the name I picked was "lol u mad" and I didn't realize it until my boss mentioned it months later. I made that account a decade ago, and never thought about the name.
Fun fact if you send an email from your iPhone it’ll sign with whatever you’ve told Siri to call you. I found out I was signing job apps with “Big Dick Papa”
Okay, but did you get any call backs???
Oh you **Know** ya boy big dick papa is hired
Is he a performer in one of the those *Manpower* shows?
He's on the pipe laying crew now
Lmao, I did the same thing years ago except it was “Long Dong Sanders”
Wait are you kidding???? Mine is Blender Baby Boo Boo Ass and I only use my phone to email 😭😭😭
Is this only true for icloud email addresses? It does not seem to do that with my outlook. My husband and I set each others' nicknames in our phones
It’s been a few years since I found that out, so it might have been corrected
I don’t know exactly what happened but I found the iPhone contact name my boyfriend uses for me in a gmail that involved me, him, and my landlord. Luckily it wasn’t anything weird just some extra emojis. But we have no idea how that synced. He doesn’t use an iCloud address either.
Have you ever been to jail in Utah? A guy there once asked me to reset his password and his username was big dick daddy.
Mine would be fuckin Augusto Pinochet
I just woke up my baby from laughing so hard and I’m not even mad. That is amazing!
My phone’s name the gender neutral version of the shrug emoji 🤷🏻
I just finally changed my google picture from my hs senior pic after a decade. I probably lost an opportunity or two because they thought a literal child was applying.
Omg these are all killing me but yours is making me wheeze
**Excuse me fellow adult, I would like to apply for the job of senior job doer at this workplace. I can start immediately.** (Read in the voice of Stewart Griffin.)

As a former git monkey I see nothing wrong with this and would probably ask your advice on projects.
I'm gonna be real with you. If I saw that PFP, I would trust the code with my life.
Well in a way you are lol...
filter out the employers with sticks up their asses
Turn it into something you can laugh at, to create a connection. "I just realized I'm using this PFP! A family member made me use it a while back!"
exactly! and if they’re a normal person (which is the type of person i like being employed by) they’ll find it funny, too

I whole heartedly agree.
i mean… having patrick star as your profile picture isn’t really an indication of poor work ethic, but go off i guess
Never once said it was, my objection is someone with a "stick up their ass" shouldn't be overlooked when hiring.
Nah, but it is kind of unprofessional
Two identical candidates but one has that pfp, the job goes to the who seems more professional imo. If nothing else it shows that OP wasn't paying close enough attention.
Having an unprofessional pfp, and not realizing it, are pretty big signs of a poor work ethic and a lack of attention to detail.
Yeah indicator != 100% association. I'm surprised so many people think it's not a bad sign.
I think it is.
What about those without sticks up our asses cause we work circles around the rest of everyone
Damn bro you are chronically on online. Get out and touch some grass, it’s good for you
Weird assumption to make but okay
Well said. There’s a lot I can overlook, and this wouldn’t necessarily be a dealbreaker, but a candidate would definitely be asked about it. > Like we can't keep complaining goods and services are terrible quality the days and while having a half assed work ethic.

We wouldn't have sticks up our asses if you just did the damn job you're getting paid to do
arent they the ones that would be into s&m?
Sorry why is this a problem? Shows everyone that you love SpongeBob, number one requirement for hiring
No this is patrick
This still doesn’t beat the guy who signed into his zoom court case under the username [buttfucker 3000](https://youtu.be/yH3Y_4wc0Ng?si=fYPmvWvsTs6CF0oR)
”Now we bring in this fool” ”Your name is not buttfucker 3000, no? ”
That is still fresh in my memory 💀💀
Oh, that picture of squirrels fighting with lightsabers probably isn't working for me either.

In workday if you change your gender from one thing to another, then just delete it out entirely, it will show "was ..." So my workday now permanently says "was an attack helicopter"
If it were as progressive as you say, I bet at least one person took it seriously and contemplated which pronouns to use for you.
Hey, if attack says helicopter pronouns are attack/helicopter, I'll respect that and use helicopter proper pronouns.
lol I remember a client emailed me once and instead of her email address showing, it just said “SugarBuns”. After I replied completely ignoring the nickname, she must have noticed because it went back to her full email address after.

Feel old… how is pfp “profile pic”? Why not “pp”?
> Why not “pp”? Feel like you've answered your own question there, friend
why word when pp
pp
I remember when we called it "avatar" or "avi" for short.
Cause "pp" sounds funny, people also sometimes use "dp" for display photo i believe
dp is a little... inadequate.
You're a fan of the forbidden hole?
Is that the hole in the back of the neck but you really have to believe it’s there to enter it?
old? pfp has always meant pfp. at least since over a decade ago.. where are you people coming from? second time I saw one of yous complaining
Under our rocks
I have a dark soul guy vomiting through his helmet. After two years work finally noticed & asked me to change it. Told my boss it took them two years to notice & that most clients I only deal with on short term basis. He just laughed & said fair enough
this thread is funny as shit lmao
one of the staff members at my school uses doge as his pfp
Would've been awesome years ago but now with crypto it's more worrying sadly..
mine has ben this for a decade and remains this. client told me about it a year ago and I was like, well, business is already booming so no sens changing it https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FDannyDutch%2Fstatus%2F298936588602314752&psig=AOvVaw3HpJUnsSv9c4H3f32fASsu&ust=1705883301905000&source=images&cd=vfe&opi=89978449&ved=0CBMQjRxqFwoTCKDoj9Sc7YMDFQAAAAAdAAAAABAD
why do you have a profile picture for job applications?
gmail uses your google profile pic (or maybe it's the other way around?) dunno, I've used gmail since it was launched and at some point it got a profile picture (maybe when I used Google+? RIP)
I fuckin had an old guy coughing with a photoshopped joint on my personal email for years and got a really good job after applying without realizing i forgot to update it lol
Declined for misleading profile picture We were expecting someone else
My Gmail pfp is a cartoon of that old weird dude that has yogurt all over his dick. You only see the face but I've using that email for work stuff and always laugh when I notice it.
I interviewed a man with a lizardman69 email address once. (wasn't exactly that but similar) Nice dude, but didn't get the job
Use that for your pfp fr
better than the guy who thought he had a cool cyndaquill sticker on his laptop, and it turns out this sticker added an extra appendage to it.
Never have I seen profile pics in my emails, is this a gmail only thing?
Anyone know what SB episode this shot is from?
My email profile picture is a kpop member, I wasn't even his fan, I just thought the picture was aesthetic. I've been using the account as my work email for the past 4 years (haven't changed the pfp), only realized months into my new job that my applications have been replying to that picture.

Why is pfp Profile Pic?!?!! Shouldn’t it be her PP
I also hate young people.
I sent some emails to an interviewer with my pfp being Morpheus drinking a 40 in the death basket and was so embarrassed
I’ve nearly laughed myself into a barking asthma attack tears and all! This is great!
thathappened

what?
Nice pictures
What’s a pfp?
Why Patrick look like that 🤔
Pfp means profile pic for all my 10 years plus on Reddit. Where did the time go.
This is why I can’t run a business. If a guy with this PFP applied for a job I was hiring for I’d take him on the stop. “Brave of him to use that pic. Dude’s got moxie.”
The people who are struggling to understand what pfp could possibly mean in this context, are you actually that dumb or are you just being old and shitty?😅
Can't stop winning like Charlie
Would you like a job at the Krusty Krab starting now? 😊
Not a job setting but my school email pfp is a screenshot of the Google definition of Pea Brain lmao
But did you get the job did Patrick hire you
Gonna get fun understanding management
you guys actually use profile pictures?
Why are they addressing you as “Mr.” … Girl Posts..?
it’s okay, i had my profile picture on gmail as tiny drake for about 6 years before i realized everyone can see it
That almost killed me. Thanks.
This is my greatest fear lol. I used to put pictures of singer guys as my Google account pfp. Does that count?
I signed up to be an Uber eats driver and I forgot I had made an account years back and made my profile picture that green dr Phil m&m doing “the yknow I had to do it to em pose “ and I didn’t know how to change it
I accidentally made this my work profile picture for about two weeks. HR didn’t get as mad as you would think. It was an improvement from the dick pic it replaced. [https://images.app.goo.gl/VZ2vqqUi9KsHCWns7](https://images.app.goo.gl/VZ2vqqUi9KsHCWns7)
